VPM patch repository is empty

I have installed VPM on W2K3 server that is seperate from my SIM5sp5 server. I am able to scan servers but when I attempt to patch, there is no box for me to check to apply the patch.
I ran Options > VPM > Acquire Updates several times.
Diagnose > VPM > View Patch Repository also states that the repository is empty.
On the VPM server is see the patches on the server.
In event viewer I am getting this application error but I'm not sure what it means. I have restarted the VPM server but that has not helped either
Any ideas?

Hello wordem,

Not too sure if this is relevant,

Whats the VPM version?

Hi Wordem,

Could you please make sure you've set the VPM proxy settings?
Go to Options > Vulnerability and Patch Management > Settings and fill your proxy settings.
Repeat the acquire again and double check if the patches were downloaded.

Let us know the issue has gone.

Thanks,
Lucas

Thanks everyone for your help. I didn't make any changes and this morning it is working.
